Lakers are a 6 point underdog. That is bound to create hunger for Kobe.

I guarantee you NO NBA player looks at, or is motivated by a Las Vegas betting line. All that is is a number to draw an equal amount of Betting on each team. If a NBA Veteran cannot be motivated just by being in the league, and getting paid millions of dollars then they're not worth a Damn!! Kobe gets Motivated by WINNING...not by what some Vegas Wiseguy puts down on a betting Line!!

I like to think you are right but...no, you're not. Lin will get eaten up by Houston's Beverly. And our Defense is maybe the worst in the league. Kobe will have to go off for 60, and Lin 45...and even that won't be enough.

Dwight probably felt like he could likely take or share the team with Harden. He'd have to "take" the team from Kobe. And he knew he wouldn't be able to. He left one coach that ran run and gun pick and roll for another coach that runs run and gun pick and roll that many fans consider worse than the coach he left.

All comes back around.

"Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen."
